CORVALLIS, Ore. – Sophomore Sammy Harrison tallied three first-place finishes Friday afternoon, as the Oregon State swimming team fell to Utah 165-95 at Stevens Natatorium. Harrison opened her day by finishing first in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:04.58, and then followed that up by winning the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:51.49. Harrison also placed first in the 500 freestyle at 4:53.65.
“I think we did really well today,” Harrison said. “We came out here with the mindset that we were going to fight hard and race them all the way to the finish, and I think we did that. We kept pushing all the way through the end.”
Sophomore Amani Amr recorded a pair of second-place finishes in the 100 backstroke (57.35) and the 200 backstroke (2:02.93). Senior Crystal Kibby took second in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:22.45. She also notched third-place finishes in the 400 IM (4:32.79) and the 100 breaststroke (1:05.89).

The Oregon State team of Amr, Kibby, freshman Brooke Meyer and freshman Andrea Young took third in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:49.31, while the squad of Amr, MacEwan, Harrison and Toulemonde finished third in the 200 freestyle relay with a time of 1:40.02.
“We were faster than we've been in the last two meets, and those are the steps that we need to take,” said head coach Larry Liebowitz. “We need to continue learning. Utah did some things better than we did, and we need to learn from that.”
The Beavers will return to action when they host Stanford on Oct. 25. The meet has been moved to Osborn Aquatic Center.
